Application 'led September29, 1.925. Serial o. A59,3923',

This invention relates to household utenl A further ob, ect of thisinvention is to providea device of this character of a mini-- mumnumberY of parts, which is of simple construction, and in which certainparts perform multiple functionsl in the different operations anddifferent kinds of cutting desired.

A further object of this invention is to provide a device of thischaracter which is of simple construction, which is simply and easilyinstalled, and which occupies a minimum space, and which is in readinessfor various and multiple operations and kinds of duties, which may beeasily-and quickly manipulated and performs its operation in a rapidmanner, andwhich may bemannfactured and sold at a minimum cost.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, I have invented the deviceillustrated in the accompanying drawings., in which:

AFigure 1 is a side elevation.

Figure 2 is a front. elevation.

Figure 3 is a rear elevation.

Figure 4 is a section at 4:-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary kshowing of the blade disk.

Figure 6 is a side elevation of the crank member detached.

Figure 7 is atop plan view of the showing` in Figure 6.

Figure 8 vis an end elevation of the showing in Figure 6.

Figure 9 is a front elevation showing the front pan attached.

Figure 10 is a rear elevation showing the rear pan attached.

Figure 11 is a fragmentary showing of a modification of a clamp.

Like reference. characters indicate like parts throughout the severalviews and in the specification, in which there is pro vided a frame 2,preferably of malleablecast iron, provided with va clamping jaw`3,cooperating lwith which is a movable jaw Li,

vpreferably of discal vshape and carried by a bolt 5, vthe bolt 5passing through a lug `6 and'beingvturned by a wing head 7 andbeingadapted to clamp the frame 2 to a table such as 8, or the devicemay be provided with a terminating base screw 9, such as shown in themodification shown in Figure 11. The upper part of the frame 2 Y isprovided with a journal 10, in which is mounted a shaft 11 held thereinby collars 12 and 13 vnot in detachable relation to the frame 2. Carriedattached to the shaft 11 is a cupi-shaped grater 14; provided withinwardly Yextending grating teeth 15. On the terminal of the shaft 11,yopposite tothe grater 14,*is a screw vthread 16, the Vshaft being cutoff orfiattened on its opposite sides as at 17 to `form al polygonalface.

Detachably connected to the shaft 11 over the polygonal face 17 is adisk 18, the disk 18 being provided Wtih a central polygonal aperture 19fitting over the polygonal por- Y tion 17 of the shaft11 and being heldthere.

on by a .wing nut 20, the wing nut 20 also anchoring a crank arm21,.which crank arm 21 is provided also with a polygonal opening 22 likethe opening 19 and fitting over the polygonal portion 17 of the shaft11. rEhe arm 20, as clearly lshown in Figures 6 and 8 is provided with aIT-shaped end 23 bent over at right angles to its main body portion andadapted to fit within a channel y 24, the channel 24v adapted to receivethe neck 25 of the T-shaped end 23 and adapted to prevent the T-shapedmember from being withdrawn therefrom when the crank arm is radialrelative' tothe disk 18.

ln' assembling, the T-shaped member 23 is placed in chordal relation tothe slot 24, the T-shaped member 23 inserted through the ,slot 24,andthen the member 21 is swung at rightangles or inradial relation tothe disk 18, whereupon the T-shaped member will be slidable in the slot24:, but will be irremovable therefrom, whereupon the opening 22 isslipped over the shaft 11 and the wing nut 2O is inserted and both thedisk and crank are rigidly anchored. The disk 18 is provided, as clearlyshown in Figure 4, with double blades, rone blade set out on one side,and the other blade set out of the other side, the blades beingrespectively numbered 26 and 27, the blade 26 being serrated and theblade 27 being plain, there being preferably four pairs of these blades26 and 27. lf the blade 26 faces the article to be shaved or cut, thenthe serrations Will cut the article in a shoest-ring or serrated style;but if the blades be reversed so that the blade 27 faces the article,then the article will be cut in a plain or chip Style. By manipulatingthe combination arrangement, various other styles of cuts may be had.There is placed in juxtaposition to the blade 18 on the rearward Side asemi-circular guide or vegetable holder 28; and in operation, by placingthe vegetable or fruit or other article to be cut in this holder andpushing` it against the disk 18 and turning the crank 2l, the slicingmay be had, the slices falling Within the pan or receptacle .29, whichpan or receptacle 29 is :made of sheet metal having an inclined bottoni30 and a side Wall 31, the inclined bottoni 30 being curvilinear inshape as iat 82., and 'fitting into kerfs or slits 33 upon the framemember 2, being therefore conveniently and readilydetaclaable therefrom.rhere is further provided a second pan 34e having a depending leg 35,Which pan 3d is provided with a kerf 36 detachably fitting over a pin37., said pin being carried .by the rear of the frame .2 and the leg 35being adapted to normally rea-ch the top of the table, or beingco-planar with the face of the jaw .3, whereby the leg 35 Will besupported by the table, thereby making `a quickly detachable arrangementfor receiving .the grati s from-the grater 14.

l. ln combination, la disk, .a shaft provided with a ,polygon-al endadapted to receive the disk, the disk provided with :ain eccentric `longitud-in'al channel, a 4crank meniber provided with .an opening fittingover the polygonal shaft, and provided With ia member adapted -t'o beinserted Within the longitudinal chan-nel when .at an angle 'rel-ativeto the radius and -to be retained Within the longitudinal channel Whenthe crank is radial to the disk.

2. ln combinati-on in a culinary article, a disk provided with a centralpolygonal opening, .a shaft provided ivith'a polygonal end adapted toreceive the polygonal opening of the disk, a strap crank member providedwith .a polygonal opening fitting over the polygona-lportionofthe shaft,and provided Vat kthe other end with a bent-over T-sha-ped vend, thedisk provided with an eccentric radial channel adapted to receive theT-shaped end and to retain the T-shaped end When the strap nieniber vislradial relative to the disk, Y

3. In combination in a culinary article, a frame member, a shaft carriedby the frame. ineinbei, a Slicer carried by the shaft, a ournal carriedby the frame memberr and supporting the shaft, and `a pan memberdetachably connected to the iframe member, the pan njieniber including acircular sheet .inetal ineinber provided with a chordal side and theframe provided with kerfs adapted to receive the base ofthe sheet metalmember.

in combination in a culinary article, a freine member, a shaft carriedby the frame member, a slicor ried by the shaft, a journal ycarried bythe 'frame nien-aber Aand supporting the shaft, and a pan ineinberdetach-- ably connected te the frame member, the pan member including apan provided Withza depending leg, and the frame being provided W-ith aclamping jaw, the depending' leg being substantially co-planai with theclamping jaiv.

5. In combination a culinary article, a frame member, a snaft carried bythe traine ineinb r, a slice-r carried by the shaft,a jonrnal carried bythe frame member and `supporting the shaft, and :pan .member detachablyconnected to fthe frame member, pan member a depending leg, the framebeing provided With a clamping jaw, the Vdepending leg ,beingsubstantially co-planar Witl the clamping jaiv, the pan being providedWith a kerf and .the frame being .provided With a pin adapted to receivethe kerf, the kerf and pin and depending leg cooperating to support thepan.

6. ln a device as described :a shaft, a cuitter disk on one end, vacrank member and means for fixing the .saine to the disk, `itor positiverotation thereof, said means ineluding a means foi1 binding .the crankto the shaft .at one end, and .an attaching means at the other endthereof, .attaching .means consisting of a T-head on said crank membercooperating with a slot in said'd-isk.

In testimony whereof I aftlx my sig-nature.
